It’s too late to read The Handmaid’s Tale to do anything about this. SCOTUS & GQP are dialed in to the plan. Trump losing 2020 was just a bump. Every single Republican that openly condemned him after J6 immediately relapsed to kissing his ass after spending a week at Mara Largo. This is a done deal unless the election is a landslide for Biden. They only need it to be close.
If someone went through "Project 2025" and simply changed references to say that this was a plan by the Taliban instead of Republicans, it would sound completely believable.
This is REAL, compadres. It's a long read of 900 mpages or so, but it's broken down into 30 or so areas of concern and the real text doesn't start until page 50. For one, they want to eliminate the Department of Education. It gets worse.
THIS is why we *all* have to vote for Biden, and blue all the way down the ticket. It doesn’t matter how flawed Biden is, if Trump wins, we’ll never have free elections again.
Yeah, that ending is never how it goes. If there's no one to fight, then the people will start noticing that, even with all the "problem groups" gone, there are still problems. And they will start looking for ways to fix that. They NEED an enemy. When they eliminate all enemies without, they select the least-desirable group from within, cast it out, and make it the new enemy.
And this is why fascism is inherently autophagous. It's doomed to eat itself, but only after wrecking EVERYTHING.
They could tell on themselves harder if they just said “we’re killing every American who isn’t in this room right now”. Honestly, there’d probably be people saying “hell yeah, that’ll get all them damn libs”
Still have nightmares from (iirc) the scene in Caligula, my first introduction to Prima Nocta. iirc the wife is brutally fucked and the guy fisted. The idea itself was horrifying enough and then came the added visual information (Caligula is a mainstream erotic film not a porn movie, so you don't actually see it happen, but there's also not much left to the imagination).
It's not about banning sex, it's about controlling women. By eliminating possible means of education and experience (which lead to preference and empowerment), they can hide the fact that no Republican had ever given a woman an orgasm.
I couldn’t find anything on the Wikipedia page about an actual ban (but please direct me to it if I’ve missed it!). Although they sure seem to advocate for what is just below that, basically. Really fucking dystopian stuff. I wanna say I feel bad for Americans, but honestly looking at the first results of the EU elections, it’s not looking fucking great over here either…
you are in some degree correct. The wording they use is to 'rewilding sex, the danger and cosequentialty to sex' https://x.com/i/status/1662534135762624520 . And no over here its not as bad yet... yet!
Everywhere the extreme right is gaining, there is Russian money and Russian influence operations supporting them.
It is almost like Russia is at war with the West and came to the conclusion that kinetic conflict didn't favor them and so shifted focus and resources into IW and cognitive warfare, knowing the West's reflexive instance on free and open information and debate would make misinformation hard to counter while having a nationally controlled internet meant effective defense. Almost.
Putin started this with a few million, some online trolls manufacturing memes and making fake accounts to flood the net. By the time we knew what was happening it was too late
Couldn't get past 11:20? My take, FWIW, is that the M-L ideological war failed with the fall of communism and the apparatus went into stasis for a decade under Gorbachev. It was reconstituted as Christian Nationalism by Putin, first as director of the FSB then with full force starting in 2000 and leveraging the power of the internet to drive a far more rapid "demoralization" using cost efficient digital активные мероприятия. We are at the brink of "crisis." Can we rely on another August coup?
It would be enforced selectively, against specially targeted groups, the same way these things always are. Most people would just go along with it, because they know it will never affect *them* personally.

They literally and explicitly intend to ignore the constitution and impose an authentication dictatorship. That's not hyperbolic, it is a de-obfuscation of "post-constitutional" and they're not being at all quiet about it
Trump loyalist pushes ‘post-Constitutional’ vision for second term
is that a group use or one time? I wasn't clear. But a good and important article. There's better reporting on the fascist threat at WAPO than NYT these days. Even mil sources are more direct and upfront about the threat Trump 2 presents - mostly internationally but some tangential comments about the domestic threat. Shit is getting very real. They're organized this time and very serious about installing a full christofascist dictatorship. The whole "fuck the constitution" angle is naked.

How would they enforce it? Just like the “no more than 6 dildos” law in Texas, I believe.

TBF the orange one only has sex for procreation and during business transactions. I doubt anybody has had recreational sex with him in decades.

He’s not the one coming up with this.

Yeah, I doubt he met Stormy Daniels with the objective of procreation.

I was thinking the whole trial over that kinda proves Trump does want recreational sex, enough that he's willing to pay a LOT for it.

No, it was a business transaction. He paid her for the act.
